This scheme consists of three consecutive steps. First, although the network-induced delay in those systems can be effectively handled by using Pade approximation(PA), the unmatched disturbance cames out as another difficulty in the control design. Second, to actively estimate this unmatched disturbance, a generalized proportional integral observer(GPIO) technique is utilized based on only one measured state. Third, by constructing a new sliding manifold with the aid of the estimated unmatched disturbance and states, a GPIO-based CSMC is synthesized, which is employed to cope with not only matched and unmatched disturbances, but also networkinduced delays. The stability of the entire closed-loop system under the proposed GPIO-based CSMC is detailedly analyzed.The promising tracking efficiency and feasibility of the proposed control methodology are verified through simulations and experiments on Quanser's servo module for motion control under various test conditions.展开更多

By using an input delay approach and a sector bound method, the network induced delays, quantization parameter and sampling intervals were presented in one framework in the case of the state and the control input by quantized in a logarithmic form. A novel Lyapunov function with discontinuity, which took full advantages of the NCS characteristic information, was exploited. In addition, it was shown that Lyapunov function decreased at the jump instants. Furthermore, the Leibniz-Newton formula and free-weighting matrix methods were used to obtain the guaranteed cost controller design conditions which were dependent on the NCS characteristic information. A numerical example was used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.展开更多

A new NCS model is proposed under consideration of both the network-induced delay and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties appearing in NCSs are norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying. The conventional method and the descriptor system method are used to obtain maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） guaranteeing robust stability and stability of the NCSs, respectively, where the stability criteria are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. And the MADB can be derived by solving the feasibility problem of the corresponding LMI. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

A new NCS model is proposed under consideration of both the network-induced delay and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties appearing in NCSs are norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying. The conventional method and the descriptor system method are used to obtain maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） guaranteeing robust stability and stability of the NCSs, respectively, where the stability criteria are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. And the MADB can be derived by solving the feasibility problem of the corresponding LMI. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
